Question

The hybridisation of Ni in Ni(CO)4 is:
  1. sp2
  2. dsp2
  3. sp3
  4. sp3d

A
sp3
B
sp3d
C
dsp2
D
sp2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The oxidation state of Ni is 0. The valence shell electronic configuration of the ground state of Ni is 3d84s2, but all the 10 electrons are pushed into 3d orbital due to the strong field CO ligands approaching the Ni atom, thereby forming sp3 hybridization.
